"Neil Woodall and Penny Withers : White"
2009-08-08 until 2009-09-18
Yorkshire Artspace - Persistence Works
Sheffield, , UK United Kingdom

An exhibition of new work by printmaker Neil Woodall and ceramicist Penny Withers, both of whom have studios at Yorkshire Artspace: Persistence Works. The show will present both individual works by each artist, alongside more experimental collaborative pieces. Neil's large scale white on white woodcuts explore different surface textures where ambient light makes the images appear and then dissolve again. Penny's thrown porcelain Freeforms bring to life the whirling fluidity of the spinning clay presenting ever changing profiles.

The cohesion between two artists‚ work would be experienced in the exhibition's overall tonal emphasis, in the contrasting of matt and shiny surfaces and interaction between the work. There will also be collaborative pieces combining ceramics and print through techniques and through personal conceptual dialogues.

In Penny's words: "I have always admired Neil‚s work, and am looking forward to our collaboration and the opportunity of sharing ideas and techniques across two very different artforms. When we first discussed a collaborative exhibition he was painting cloudscapes and I was making forms reminiscent of large birds rearing into flight. However we have narrowed the concept of the exhibition down to an atmospheric rather than figurative connection, and as a result we are more able to merge our techniques and materials in pieces that combine ceramics and print."
